OPINION: The National Post is the only other paper designed for arseholes.

FACT: Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the mercury thermometer.
OPINION: I bet he was the type of guy who, in the middle of a snow storm, would come up to you and say, "Cold enough for you?" Then you tell him "I don't speak English. Fuck off." Then he says, "Where are you from?" Then you say, "I just told you I can't speak English. How the hell do you think I can tell you where I'm from, if I can't understand your language? Fuck off."

FACT: The Eiffel Tower has 1792 steps.

OPINION: If the dead ever tried to start a war with everyone that's alive they'd be outnumbered, but they'd probably kick our asses because of the mysterious powers they obtained from beyond the grave.
